ActiveRecord where returns ActiveRecord::Relation

Question

u = User.where("name = ?", "mateusz").limit(1)
u.class
=> ActiveRecord::Relation

So I cant do smth like u.email and so on. .find does right, returns User object. Is there any chance to get an User object from ActiveRecord::Relation object?

Answer 1

You should call first or last on the ActiveRecord::Relation object:

u = User.where("name = ?", "mateusz").first
